"Jason, hold on." Renee said and Jason halted. He turned to look at her with a disturbed look on his face."What? Is there a problem?" He asked."Why did you just leave? I was talking about something." Renee replied."Well, I heard you. Did you ask for my opinion? You only said what you wanted." Jason retorted."Your opinion? Jason we are literally engaged, what other opinion do I need to get? Aren't we supposed to be planning our wedding?" Renee asked, a little surprised by Jason's sudden anger."Well that is a you problem." He replied."Jason, what is wrong with you? I really can't believe we are having this argument today. Are you not okay with the date? We can change it." Renee said, sounding a little desperate.Jason scoffed."You will do whatever it is you want, Renee. I really don't care what you want to do. You can even hold the wedding ceremony without me, I still don't mind." He said.Renee walked forward and held his hands. Jason only stared at her hands and back to her fac
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • The Legion Commander Marries Who He Wants
Valerie was a little surprised to see her parents there."Mother, Father. Hi...uh.. welcome." She stuttered. Therese looked confusedly at Valerie."Why do you have popcorns on your hair?" She pointed out. "Huh?" Valerie's eyes widened, she immediately rushed back in and shut the door behind her. She went to the mirror in the living room."You never told me I have popcorns stuck in my head." She accused Ethan and he chuckled."You look pretty. Who was that at the door?" He asked."My parents. Go put on a shirt, hurry up." Valerie ordered as she dusted off the popcorns. Ethan laughed and went into the bedroom to get a shirt.Valerie went back to the front door and opened it."Sorry." She said."Can we come in?" Clifford asked."Uh..you do know this is Ethan's house right?" Valerie questioned.Clifford and Therese exchanged glances again."Of course, that's why we are here. We knew you would be here after we didn't see you at your own house." Therese replied."Oh. I see." Valerie said.
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Who's Pushing Blames?
Jason shut the door properly."I don't understand. What is wrong with me?" He asked and Renee rolled her eyes."You should really learn to mind your own business. My decision not to attend Stacey's wedding is personal. You do not make decisions for me. What the hell." She fumed.Jason chuckled."I still don't understand." He said. Renee folded her arms across her chest in an annoying manner."Oh really. Should I spell it out to you? I said you should stop meddling in my business. We aren't even married yet. I wonder what would happen if we are actually married." Renee replied."Okay, I was just going to act like I didn't hear what those friends of yours said about me. But now, I can't keep pretending to not have heard anything. Do you think I didn't hear them comparing me to Ethan? Or saying you made a bad choice picking me over Ethan? Or that I have nothing going on with me or when you being questioned if you were happy with me." Jason said.Just then, Clifford and Therese walked in.
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Watch Your Back
The launch date for the beacon was coming closer and closer. Ethan had employed and mobilized people to help in the social media promotion of the event. He wanted it to be loud and it was indeed working as everyone within and outside the country knew about the forthcoming event.Apart from promoting it online, he was also preparing his grand present to Valerie who still had no idea that Ethan was planning to give her a space in the beacon.They were both in the kitchen. Valerie was making breakfast for Ethan, she was going to leave soon as she had to meet with her parents by midday.Ethan sat on the kitchen cabinet watching her cook. He decided to ask her about her company just to be sure she had not made any move yet."How is it with your search for your new space?" He asked.Valerie washed an apple and handed it over to him."What new space?" "For your company." He stated, and took a big bite off the apple."Oh that. I haven't been able to do much yet. I have been caught up with th
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Soldiers At The Border
Skyler saw Valerie's eyes widen in fear. She immediately stood up."Is there something wrong?" She asked."Um...no, no. I'm fine." Valerie responded, panting."Are you sure?" Skyler probed, staring strangely at Valerie."Yes, I am. I just recalled a bad memory. It's nothing really." Valerie said again."Okay. You do not look okay, but since you insist you are, I can't do anything." Skyler said with a shrug."Well, I think we should leave." Valerie started."Huh? Why? Is there something wrong? If there is, go ahead and speak now. We can call Ethan or something." Skyler stated."Like you rightly said, this place is toxic. I can't stay any longer. It's exhausting." Valerie replied, picking up her purse."I am glad you noticed it now, but why are we so much hurry?" Skyler asked, picking up her purse too.Valerie walked out of the house without telling her family members that she was leaving. Skyler on her own part didn't care."You're doing the driving." Valerie stated throwing the key to

Ethan and Jax glanced at each other. Ethan immediately picked up the radio phone they all used to communicate."Everybody stop." He ordered.All the cars halted. It seemed all the intercoms had alerted them about the bombs. Jax looked at Ethan again. "Do you know if the bombs are attached to the car or around the car?" He questioned."I have no idea. But what I do know is that we are in a danger zone." Ethan responded, his eyes darting around to see if he could notice anything. After waiting for about five minutes, Jax heaved a sigh of relief."I think we are good now." He stated, starting the car again. All the other cars in front did the same thing. Just then, Ethan's sharp eyes caught sight of something. He couldn't make any sense of what it was, but he knew whatever it was, wasn't there to help them but to destroy."Fuck! Don't move!" He yelled into the radio phone.Jax turned to him a little confused. He was about to ask Ethan why he had said that when all of a sudden, they h

Elizabeth clutched to the bed, throwing her head to different directions. Her clothes and body were soaked with sweat."No no no. Please no. Not again. Somebody help my son please." She cried out loudly, still struggling on the bed.Skyler rushed into the bedroom, she immediately jumped on the bed and tried to wake her mother up."Mother! Mother!" She called shaking her.Few moments later, Valerie joined her."What is wrong with her? I heard her shouting from my bedroom." Valerie said."I don't know, I think she is having a nightmare. I am trying to make her wake up but she isn't responding." Skyler responded in a worried tone."Try again. It...it...it..can't be that bad." Valerie stuttered in confusion."Mother, please wake up." Skyler said, tapping her mother's shoulders, but still there was no response."Hold on, let me try." Valerie said. She climbed on the bed and pulled Elizabeth up into a hug, gently shaking her in the process.Elizabeth gasped for air twice and hugged Valerie
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Where Is The Legion Commander?
Skyler left Valerie's bedroom on seeing how the atmosphere was. She was also extremely worried about Ethan, but she tried to act strong for her mother. Valerie on the other hand was not helping matters. She was crying along with Elizabeth. All these were reasons why Skyler left the room.Lieutenant Lucy joined her in the living room a few minutes later."Will my brother be found please?" Skyler asked, but Lucy sighed."Honestly, I can't promise anything for now, but I assure you we are trying our best." She affirmed."Assuring me isn't enough, I need to be sure my brother would be found and brought back home...alive." Skyler said. The possibility of Ethan being dead flashed in her mind but she immediately shrugged it off."He is going to be fine. Lieutenant Keith is making some calls. Help will be sent to the point where we lost contact with them." Lucy stated. Skyler gasped in desperation."Will? Are you for real? You still stand here saying will? Help is supposed to be there by now.

The laughter of children running around in the backyard hung in the air. Valarie was behind the grill, roasting the chicken. Stacey walked into the yard, holding a toddler in her hands as well as her husband beside them. Immediately the two women saw each other, they started to smile. “Oh my gosh Stacey, I didn’t think you could make it,” Valerie said after pulling away from their hug. “Is this your son?” She nodded in response, “He’s about the same age as Emilio and Emilia. Speaking of which, where are they anyway?” She asked. “Oh just over there,” Valerie replied, pointing in the direction. It had been two years now since she had brought these wonderful fraternal twins to the world, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She would never have believed life could be so refreshing after all the hardship that she and Ethan had endured in the past. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her off the ground. “Oh my goodness, Ethan,” she called out playfully. “When w

Several months laterValerie was standing by the balcony, overlooking the city. The past few months have been nothing but perfect and she couldn’t help but wonder if she was dreaming. Even if she was, she would rather not wake up from it because this was a blissful dream. The sound of footsteps coming from behind her met her ears, she turned around to face Ethan. “I knew I’d find you here,” he said affectionately, wrapping his hands around her waist as he rested his chin against her shoulders.She melted into his frame, a warm smile spreading on her face. “Yes, the view from here is quite lovely.”Ever since Ethan had reclaimed the Vanguard manor, he moved in with Valerie. She loved the change of environment so much. The Sterling manor was sold because after Clifford lost the presidential elections, he was neck deep in debt and had to pay. His sponsors had ruthlessly abandoned him like he was vermin. Leaving him stranded and bankrupt.. Valerie was not even at the slightest intereste
• Congratulations
The wedding bells chimed as Valerie got down from her car, the important people in Armoria were here to witness the union of the legion commander and his wife. Her dress was a body holding white silver tube gown which embodied the contours of her waist. It was embellished with pearls and attached to the bottom were gatherers which she was helped with while moving. People began to turn but her eyes ignored all of them, locking on to Ethan's who was at the end of the road, hands folded in front of him as he was in his charcoal gray suit. By now she was already a few more weeks in, but the baby bump wasn't too visible yet. All heads turned to face her and people began to whisper, she was just one of the most expensive designer brands in the country. Something many brides could only dream of wearing. Her mother Therese, who was also on the verge of shedding tears, walked her down the aisle, handing her over to Ethan. They locked hands, turning to face the priest that would join them
• Nearing The End
The Vanguard's were all gathered around the living room with panic strikes expression on their faces. Martha looked like she had just seen a ghost. Larry descended from the staircase with a stoic expression on his face, briefcase in hand. “Just where do you think you're going?” Desmond's voice boomed.“I'm leaving this place before Ethan comes back here to throw you guys out on the streets and disgrace you in the neighborhood, I don't want to be a part of it.”A gasp escaped from his parents lips. “Larry, how could you say such a thing!” Martha scolded him. “Ethan can't do that! He can't! I've called the lawyers already, everything is under control.” Larry scoffed, shaking his head slowly. “You guys don't realize it, don't you? You stole from him, you took what rightfully belongs to him and his father, this house, this manor, it belonged to my uncle! Not you, nothing you do will change that!” He tightened his grip on the bag and walked away, sparing no second glance. Tears prick
• A Little Secret
At the funeral, Therese was standing in front of Renée’s coffin, trying her heart out when Valerie rolled her wheelchair towards her mother. “Mom,” she called. Therese froze. Could her ears be deceiving her? It couldn't be. She immediately turned around and saw that it was her daughter. “Valerie, you're back,” he replied, joyful tears filling her eyes as she crouched down to hug her daughter. Renée was being buried in the family manor. Guests from all over had begun to arrive and Clifford was too busy trying to network and interact to actually even notice that his second daughter had returned. “I wish she and I hadn't fought. Then she wouldn't have come back to Armoria, none of this would have happened.”Therese grabbed her daughter's face and rubbed it. “Don't say that. It is not your fault, Clifford is the one to blame. He's the one that pushed her into this predicament.”Valerie scoffed. “Why am I not surprised?”“Honey, I think there's something you need to know. Your father a
• The One Allowed To Cheat Death
“My baby, how is my baby?” Valerie asked desperately. “We ran all the scans and your baby miraculously survived. The angle at which you were shot didn't have any contact with your uterus or developing baby whatsoever. And thankfully you were shot from a distance so the bullet didn't do much damage, a little bit of rest and healing and you'll be alright. The only issue is the amount of blood you lost, so will be placing you on some supplements and as well as giving you some dietary suggestions.”Hearing this news from the doctor felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. At least she could finally smile about something. “I just wish Ethan was here and then my family would be complete,” he whispered. Lucy backed away from her. “It's going to be okay.”The lieutenants had no idea that Ethan was still alive, because Natasha hadn't communicated it to them yet. “When can I be discharged and go home?” Valerie asked. “Right now I can see that you're safe for travel so you can go today

“Natasha has made all the necessary arrangements, you can return back to Armoria with ease,” Ethan said, walking towards the door. “What about you?” Darren asked. “I know where Cyrus and his men are, I need to go there and finish them off before they leave Chelmen.”“Wasn't it solo missions like this that even led you to this predicament? Now you have survived, you might not be so lucky next time Ethan.” He paused, placing an arm on Darren's shoulders. “This time, I will be.”Darren watched as Ethan exited the house. He stood by the street at the designated spot and then a black car pulled over and an elderly looking man came out of the car. “You must be Ethan Vanguard,” the man greeted in a thick accent. “Everything you need is in the trunk, and here are the car keys. Please return the car, the last people to use they didn't,” he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Ethan smirked. “Best believe I will, but it may have some blood stains.” The man's eyes widened upon hearing what E
• More Tears
Skyler jumped out of the car, “hey what are you doing to my mum!” She cried, running towards him. Irene was right behind her while Raul also got down and followed suit. Elizabeth raised her teary eyes to face her daughter who quickly pulled her up from the floor and hugged her. Skyler could see Desmond's driver holding a bag, presumably her mother's bag. Then he stepped out of the gate and then tossed the bag on the floor. This gesture angered Skyler so she lunged forward, managing to give the driver a good slap before Irene held her back.“How dare you bring your filthy selves to our house and try to harass my mother!?”Desmond smirked. “I can see that you haven't changed one bit, you still talk too much. This house belongs to me since your brother is dead now.”His words felt like a physical blow to Skyler. “Don't you dare ever say something like that again, Ethan isn't dead!”“Oh but he is, haven't you seen the news?”Irene walked forward. “Even if Ethan is dead, what makes you
• Ethan Remembers
Valerie was on a stretcher and right beside her was Antonio. They were both bleeding out and were rushed to the emergency unit. Just outside the hospital was Melissa, along with Jax, Kieth and Lucy. After Antoni had been shot, his men surrendered, and the police came and cleared the crime scene, making multiple arrests as well as ransacking Antonio’s mansion, an opportunity the local FBI had been dying to get. The three lieutenants were spared from the arrest because the chief of police, who despite recognising what they did as illegal, was happy that they had helped bust Antonio. Now with the overwhelming amount of evidence they had against him, there was no way he could escape jail time. In the emergency room, the nurses huddled around each of the victims. Antonio's wound was to his upper back but the bullet went through and came out of his chest. While Valerie was in the stomach. “We’re losing him, we’re losing him!” The doctor screamed as the life support machine beeped loudly.
